- Certain embodiments may define a separate CE-nB for a UE in coverage enhancement mode, which could be decided based on a required repetition number. Furthermore, in certain embodiments a coverage enhanced UE can calculate the UE's paging frame/paging occasion according to a CE-nB instead of the nB advertised in current specification.

Description
- The invention relates to a method and to a MME for paging in enhanced coverage.
- Various communication systems may benefit from the proper use of control channel resources. For example, certain communication systems associated with the long term evolution of the third generation partnership project may benefit from physical downlink control channel transmission improvement for paging message coverage enhancement.
- Third generation partnership project (3GPP) RP-130848, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, describes allowance of a new machine type communication (MTC) operation in long term evolution (LTE) that also allows for enhanced coverage compared to existing LTE networks. Such new MTC operation may aim to provide a relative LTE coverage improvement corresponding to 15dB for frequency division duplex (FDD) for low complexity user equipment (UEs) and other UEs operating delay tolerant MTC applications with respect to their respective nominal coverage. Repetition may be specified as a method to improve coverage.
- With existing paging procedure, the evolved node B (eNB) must be able to schedule the paging message transmission in the appropriate transmission time interval (TTI) and indicate the scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource in physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI). In order to get 15dB coverage improvement, the PDCCH needs a number of repetitions. As a result there may be PDCCH collision for different UEs in the same subframe.
-
Figure 1 illustrates PDCCH repetition to reach coverage enhanced user equipment. As shown inFigure 1 , the PDCCH may need to be retransmitted 20 times to reach the coverage enhanced UEs (CE-UEs). There are three UEs illustrated in this example:UE # 1, which needs coverage enhancement andmonitors subframe # 4 for PDCCH with P-RNTI;UE # 2, which does not need coverage enhancement nor PDCCH repetition and which monitorssubframe # 5 for PDCCH with P-RNTI; andUE # 3, which needs coverage enhancement and which monitorssubframe # 9 for PDCCH with P-RNTI. - The first PDCCH with P-RNTI for
UE # 1 is transmitted atsubframe # 4 inframe # 1, and it is repeated 20 times in the subsequent subframes, marked in grey. The PDCCH forUE # 2 is transmitted atsubframe# 5 offrame # 1. The first PDCCH with P-RNTI forUE # 3 is transmitted atsubframe # 9 inframe # 1, and it is repeated 20 times in the subsequent subframes marked in grey. - In this case, there will be two PDCCH indications in
subframe # 5 offrame # 1, and in all the subframes filled with slashed lines, forexample subframe # 5 offrame # 1 where there will be a collision between PDCCH repetition ofUE # 1 and original PDCCH transmission ofUE # 2,subframe # 9 offrame # 1 where there will be a collision between PDCCH repetition ofUE # 1 and original PDCCH transmission ofUE # 3; andsubframe # 0 offrame # 2 where there will be a collision of PDCCH repetition between UE #1 and UE#3. - In these subframes, the UE would detect more than one PDCCH and, if each PDCCH is successfully decoded, the UE would have to further receive the respective PDSCH, even though the PDSCH may not be destined to that UE. This brings confusion to the UE and costs the UE power and processing efforts. Document

- For proper understanding of the invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 illustrates PDCCH repetition to reach coverage enhanced user equipment. -
Figure 2 illustrates PCCH-Config according to 3GPP TS 36.331. -
Figure 3 illustrates a procedure of the PDCCH transmission according to certain embodiments. -
Figure 4 illustrates the possibility of multiple repetition levels in one cell, according to certain embodiments. -
Figure 5 illustrates a method according to certain embodiments. -
Figure 6 illustrates a system according to certain embodiments. - The claimed invention corresponds to
fig. 5 and to the related text in the description. The remaining figures and the text of the description are intended to better explain the invention. - It is planned that for machine type communications (MTC), an enhanced coverage mode for UEs will provide a 15-20dB improvement. In order to achieve this 15-20dB improvement, a number of repetitions of the scheduled resources in the PDCCH may be performed, which may lead to collisions. Certain embodiments provide a mechanism whereby for those UEs that are in a coverage enhancement mode, a separate coverage enhancement nB is defined from which these UEs can calculate their paging occasions. Certain embodiments may also provide a separate coverage enhancement P-RNTI to address the PDCCH for enhanced coverage mode UEs. In case of a PDCCH overlap with UEs that are not in a coverage enhancement mode, the coverage enhancement mode nB can be used in order to, for example, keep a low density of paging occasions, so that there may be no collisions on the PDCCH.
- Certain embodiments may define a separate CE-nB for a UE in coverage enhancement mode, which could be decided based on a required repetition number. Furthermore, in certain embodiments a coverage enhanced UE can calculate the UE's paging frame/paging occasion according to a CE-nB instead of the nB advertised in current specification. According to certain embodiments, an MME can indicate in a paging message to the eNB whether the paging is for UEs in CE mode.
- If available, a repetition level for the UE could be also indicated. This information might be available, for example, for stationary UE. The repetition level of the UE can be conveyed to the MME when the UE moves to idle mode. The paging records in the paging message can address UEs in CE mode with the same repetition level.
- In certain embodiments a separate coverage enhancement paging radio network temporary identifier (CE-P-RNTI) is defined for UE in coverage enhancement mode. Multiple CE-P-RNTIs could be defined for each repetition level, for example if a repetition level for each UE is known by the MME.
- The eNB can dynamically derive the CE-P-RNTI based on the repetition level in paging message to transmit PDCCH. The UE can decode the PDCCH by the CE-P-RNTI corresponding to the UE's repetition level.
- Any desired paging occasion (PO)/paging frame (PF) calculation can be applied for UE in coverage enhancement mode. If there is PDCCH overlapping with current nB, a separate coverage enhanced nB (CE-nB) can be applied for the CE-UE in order to keep a low density of PO for UE in coverage enhancement mode and thereby, for example, to make sure there is no collision of the PDCCH (re)-transmission within a single subframe. The value of CE-nB can, for example, be decided based on the repetition number of PDCCH, for example how many times the PDCCH is to be transmitted. For example, if the required repetition number is N, and the paging cycle is T, CE-nB can be set to one of the available values smaller than (T*10/N), if nB > (T*10/N), based on the PCCH-Config defined in 3GPP 36.331 as shown in
Figure 2 . - For example, if the repetition number for PDCCH is 120, then the CE-nB for UE in coverage enhancement can be set to oneSixteenthT or oneThirtySecondT, while for normal UEs, the nB used for PO derivation can remain unchanged. In certain embodiments, the nearest value satisfying CE-nB < T*10/N can be selected.
- In addition, the Ns parameter can be updated for UE in coverage enhancement from the equation below based on CE-nB: Ns = max (1, CE-nB/T)
- Thus value of Ns may always be 1 for a UE in coverage enhancement mode, because the required repetition number of PDCCH transmission may be larger than 10. Thus, there may only be one subframe available for paging in the paging frame. The subframe may be
subframe # 9 for FDD andsubframe # 0 for TDD, based on the subframe pattern defined in 3GPP technical specification (TS) 36.204 v12.0.0, "User Equipment (UE) procedures in idle mode," which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. - The UE in coverage enhancement mode can still wake up every discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle in the original PO, as derived for example from the formulae in 3GPP TS 36.304, to monitor the PDCCH channel with CE-P-RNTI and continue to receive the PDCCH repetition marked with CE-P-RNTI from the consecutive subframes until it receives all the required number of PDCCH transmission or could decode the PDCCH successfully. The CE-P-RNTI can be a new type of RNTI for differentiating PDCCH transmission between the normal UE and UE in CE mode.
-
Figure 3 illustrates a procedure of the PDCCH transmission according to certain embodiments. In this particular example, the required repetition number can be 20, based on the CE-nB calculation equation: CE-nB = T/2. There are three UEs in this example:UE # 1, which needs coverage enhancement and monitors thesubframe # 9 for PDCCH with CE-P-RNTI using CE-nB;UE # 2, which does not need coverage enhancement, has no PDCCH repetition, and monitors thesubframe # 4 for PDCCH with P-RNTI using normal nB; andUE # 3 needs coverage enhancement and monitors thesubframe # 9 for PDCCH with CE-P-RNTI (using CE-nB). - The first PDCCH with CE-P-RNTI for
UE # 1 is, in this example, transmitted atsubframe # 9 inframe # 1, and it is repeated 19 times marked with CE-P-RNTI in the subsequent subframes, marked in grey. The PDCCH forUE # 2 is, in this example, transmitted atsubframe# 4 offrame # 2. The first PDCCH with CE-P-RNTI forUE # 3 is, in this example, transmitted atsubframe # 9 inframe # 3, and the PDCCH is repeated 19 times marked with CE-P-RNTI in the subsequent subframes, marked in grey. - In this example, there is only a single PDCCH marked either with P-RNTI or CE-P-RNTI in one subframe. For example, in
subframe # 4 offrame # 2 there is a PDCCH repetition marked with CE-P-RNTI forUE # 1 and PDCCH transmission with P-RNTI forUE # 2. There would not, in this example, be any repetition collision for PDCCH repetition marked with CE-P-RNTI in any subframe. -
Figure 4 illustrates the possibility of multiple repetition levels in one cell, according to certain embodiments. As shown inFigure 4 , there can be multiple repetition levels in one cell and that overlapping of PDCCH may occur in this case. For example, for UE #1 a repetition number is 20, CE-nB = ½T and in this example for UE #2 a repetition number is 10, CE-nB = T. Thus, in this example, there is still overlap for PDCCH repetition inframe # 3. - One approach that avoids such an outcome is to assign a different value for CE-P-RNTI based on the repetition level of the UE. The repetition level could be transferred, for example by the UE, to the MME when the UE moves from connected mode to idle mode and can then be indicated from the MME to the eNB in a paging message. Alternatively, the repetition level could be transferred from the eNB to the MME when the UE moves from connected mode to idle mode and then be indicated from the MME to the eNB in a paging message. The eNB can derive the CE-P-RNTI of the UE for transmitting PDCCH for paging.
- With the same example as shown in
Figure 4 , even inframe # 3 when there are two PDCCHs the UE could find the correct PDCCH by its dedicated CE-P-RNTI because they have a different repetition level. Thus, this approach can ensure that each UE could get a dedicated PDCCH within a single subframe. -
Figure 5 illustrates a method according to certain embodiments. The method can include, at 510, obtaining a coverage enhancement paging parameter, CE-nB, at a user equipment. CE-nB may be configured for use only when the user equipment is in coverage enhancement mode. - The method can also include, at 520, calculating, by the user equipment, a paging frame or paging occasion according to the CE-nB.
- The method includes, at 505, indicating a repetition level for the user equipment to a mobility management entity for later use. The obtained CE-nB can be based on the repetition level stored at the UE. The repetition level of the user equipment is conveyed to the mobility management entity when the user equipment moves to idle mode.
- The user equipment can derive a CE-P-RNTI for use in coverage enhancement mode. The method can additionally include, at 530, decoding a physical downlink control channel based on the CE-P-RNTI. The CE-P-RNTI can be one of a plurality of CE-P-RNTI and can be derived based on the stored repetition level.
- Although
blocks - The method includes, at 540, determining, by an MME, whether a paging is for user equipment in coverage enhancement mode. The method also includes, at 550, indicating in a paging message that the paging is for user equipment in coverage enhancement mode, based on the determining.
- The method includes, at 560, receiving by an eNB from an MME, as described above, or , optionally, by an MME) an indication of a repetition level for the user equipment, wherein the determining and/or obtaining is based on the repetition level. The repetition level of the user equipment is conveyed to a mobility management entity when the user equipment moves to idle mode, as mentioned above. Thus, the method also includes, at 570, sending the indication of the repetition level from the MME to the eNB.
